Compression Stockings

Are you experiencing tired, achy legs, swelling or the early signs of venous insufficiency? Medical-grade compression stockings provide a foundational, noninvasive approach to managing vein health and improving circulation. At Vein Care Center, Dr. Manu B. Aggarwal offers professionally fitted compression stockings to help patients from Lima, Celina and surrounding areas find relief from uncomfortable symptoms and support their overall vein health.

What Are Medical-Grade Compression Stockings?

Compression stockings are specialized therapeutic garments designed to apply graduated pressure to your legs, with the strongest compression at the ankles gradually decreasing up the leg. This carefully engineered pressure gradient helps improve blood flow by assisting your veins in moving blood back toward your heart more efficiently.

Unlike regular socks or over-the-counter compression products, medical-grade compression stockings from Vein Care Center are precisely fitted to your unique measurements and prescribed with specific compression levels tailored to your condition. These professional-grade stockings are manufactured with durable, high-quality materials and proven graduated compression technology to deliver consistent therapeutic benefits.

Medical-grade compression stockings effectively address the following:

  • Venous insufficiency symptoms like aching and heaviness
  • Swelling (edema) in the legs and ankles
  • Early-stage varicose veins and spider veins
  • Post-surgical recovery after vein treatments
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention
  • Occupational leg fatigue from prolonged standing or sitting

The graduated compression technology works by helping the calf muscle pump function more effectively, promoting proper venous return and reducing venous pressure in the legs. This improved circulation helps alleviate uncomfortable symptoms while supporting long-term vein health.

Benefits of Medical-Grade Compression Stockings

When you choose professionally fitted compression stockings from Vein Care Center, you’ll experience multiple therapeutic benefits:

  • Improved Circulation: The graduated compression technology enhances blood flow, helping reduce venous pressure and improving overall circulation in your legs.
  • Symptom Relief: Many patients experience a significant reduction in leg pain, swelling, heaviness and fatigue with regular use of properly fitted stockings.
  • Prevention Benefits: Compression therapy can help prevent the progression of early-stage venous issues and reduce the risk of developing more serious conditions.
  • Enhanced Energy: Better circulation often translates to increased energy and reduced fatigue during daily activities.
  • Post-Treatment Support: Compression stockings play an essential role in recovery after vein procedures, helping maintain results and support healing.
  • Professional Fitting: Our expert staff ensures your stockings provide the precise level of compression your condition requires with a comfortable fit for your unique anatomy.

Unlike over-the-counter options, our medical-grade compression stockings are available in multiple compression levels (measured in mmHg), styles and sizes to address your specific venous condition and lifestyle needs. Before recommending compression therapy, Dr. Aggarwal thoroughly evaluates the optimal compression level for your situation.

The Compression Stocking Process at Vein Care Center

At Vein Care Center, we take a comprehensive approach to compression therapy that begins with proper assessment and continues with ongoing support:

01 /
Professional Evaluation

Your journey starts with a thorough venous assessment with Dr. Aggarwal, who will evaluate your symptoms, vein health and specific needs. When necessary, we can use advanced ultrasound technology to identify underlying venous issues and determine the appropriate level of compression for your condition. Dr. Aggarwal will recommend the optimal compression strength, typically ranging from 15-20 mmHg for mild cases to 30-40 mmHg for more significant venous issues.

02 /
Expert Measurement and Fitting

Our specialized team will take precise measurements of your legs to ensure the perfect fit. These measurements typically include circumference at various points of your legs and length measurements from foot to knee or thigh. We account for your unique anatomy to avoid uncomfortable bunching, pinching or rolling while ensuring proper therapeutic compression. Our team helps you select the most appropriate style based on your condition, lifestyle needs and personal preferences.

Compression Options

At Vein Care Center, we offer a variety of compression stocking options to suit different needs:

  • Knee-High Stockings: The most commonly prescribed option, providing compression from the ankle to just below the knee
  • Thigh-High Stockings: Extended compression for those with venous issues affecting the upper leg
  • Pantyhose Style: Full-leg coverage for comprehensive compression therapy
  • Open or Closed Toe: Options to accommodate different footwear and comfort preferences
  • Various Colors and Materials: Selections to suit your personal style and seasonal needs

We’ll guide you through the different options, helping you choose stockings that integrate seamlessly into your daily routine. Our goal is to find compression stockings you’ll actually wear consistently, as regular use is essential for maximum benefit.

Proper Usage Education

Our team provides comprehensive instructions on how to properly wear your compression stockings for maximum benefit and garment longevity. We’ll show you helpful techniques and tools that make putting on and removing your stockings easier. You’ll receive guidance on the recommended wearing schedule based on your specific condition, typically including wearing them during all waking hours for optimal results.

We’ll also provide detailed care instructions for washing and maintaining your stockings to ensure they deliver consistent compression and last as long as possible. Most stockings should be regularly replaced every 4-6 months to maintain adequate compression levels.

When to Consider Compression Stockings

Compression therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals with varying vein health concerns. Compression stockings serve both as a standalone conservative treatment for managing symptoms and as a critical component of comprehensive vein care when combined with other treatments like sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment or ambulatory phlebectomy.

Consider medical-grade compression stockings if you:

  • Experience leg fatigue, heaviness, aching or swelling, especially after prolonged standing or sitting
  • Have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency, varicose veins or spider veins
  • Are preparing for or recovering from vein treatment procedures
  • Have a family history of venous disease and want to take preventative measures
  • Work in an occupation requiring extended periods of standing or sitting
  • Are pregnant or have hormonal factors that increase your risk of venous issues
  • Travel frequently, especially on long flights or car rides
  • Have had previous blood clots or have risk factors for deep vein thrombosis

Using Your Compression Stockings Effectively

For maximum benefit from your compression therapy, follow these essential guidelines:

01 /
Daily Wear

Compression stockings are most effective when put on first thing in the morning before swelling occurs. Wear them throughout the day as prescribed by Dr. Aggarwal, typically removing them only for bathing and sleeping. Consistency is crucial—intermittent use significantly reduces the therapeutic benefits.

02 /
Proper Application

Always apply compression stockings to clean, dry skin. For easier application, consider using application aids like rubber gloves or specialized donning devices available at Vein Care Center. Ensure the stockings are completely smooth without wrinkles, folds or bunching that could create pressure points.

03 /
Routine Replacement

Compression stockings gradually lose their elasticity and effectiveness with regular wear. Most medical-grade stockings should be replaced every 4-6 months. Having multiple pairs allows for rotation while one pair is being laundered and helps extend the overall lifespan of your stockings.

04 /
Care and Maintenance

Hand wash your stockings daily or every other day using mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners and hot water, which can damage the elastic fibers. Air dry flat or hang—never use a dryer, as heat damages the compression materials. Proper care significantly extends the functional life of your stockings.
